When pulling over and shifting to first gear, the clutch should be released. Here is relevant information: 1. Pay attention to the following areas where pulling over is not allowed: intersections, railway crossings, curves, narrow roads, narrow bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and sections within 20 meters of these locations. Parking is also prohibited in areas with sidewalk barriers (hedges), crosswalks, construction zones, and opposite obstacles. Additionally, no parking is allowed in front of bus stops, tram stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations, as well as within 30 meters of these locations. 2. Key points to note: When pulling over, the distance between the vehicle body and the outer edge line should be within 30cm. If the distance is too large, the left side may cross the line, and if it's too small, the right wheel may cross the line. You can align the raised part of the windshield wiper or one-third of the hood with the outer edge line and then attempt to park. It's important to note that when pulling over, don't just focus on the front; also check the rearview mirror to ensure the vehicle is parallel to the edge line.

Can Hazard Lights Be Used During Heavy Rain on Highways?

Hazard lights can be used during heavy rain on highways, but doing so is very dangerous. Heavy rain can obscure road conditions for drivers, and using hazard lights may confuse following vehicles about whether your car is moving or preparing to slow down and stop. Additionally, it becomes difficult for trailing vehicles to discern your lane-changing intentions, significantly increasing the risk of accidents. Below is relevant information about the use of hazard lights in vehicles: Use when the vehicle cannot move: When a vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident while waiting for the police, hazard lights should be activated. This serves as a warning to following vehicles, alerting them to the presence of a stationary vehicle ahead to prevent collisions and further safety incidents. Do not use in low visibility: Traffic authorities have also issued regulations stating that using hazard lights in extremely low visibility conditions will result in a 1-point penalty and a fine. Therefore, it is crucial to remember not to use hazard lights during heavy rain or dense fog.

Can I Renew My Driver's License on 123123 When It Expires?

You can renew your driver's license on the 12123 platform when it expires, as the platform provides a dedicated service channel for license renewal, allowing vehicle owners to conveniently complete the renewal process online. Below are the relevant details for renewing an expired driver's license: Renewal Time: The driver should apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of the current driver's license. Before renewal, all traffic violation penalties associated with the license must be settled. Driving with an expired license without renewal is considered unlicensed driving. Required Documents: Original driver's license, ID card and its copy, three recent 1-inch color photos with a white background (uncapped), digital photo collection receipt for the driver's license, and a medical examination certificate (issued by a local county-level or higher medical institution, or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above, or a designated vehicle management office medical check-up point). For non-local residents, the original and a copy of the residence permit are also required.

Will the Car Stall When Braking from 4th Gear to 20 mph?

Generally, it won't stall, but if you keep the clutch partially engaged while braking to a stop, the car may stall. In any gear (except neutral), if the car comes to a complete stop without pressing the clutch, it will stall. Here is some relevant information: When the gear is in 1st to 5th: If the clutch is not pressed and the speed starts to decrease, the car will stall when the speed drops to a certain point. Additionally, water in the exhaust pipe, engine failure, or running out of fuel can also cause stalling. If the gear is still engaged: Stalling due to not pressing the clutch can damage the car. Forcing the gear shift without fully pressing the clutch can also lead to stalling and may cause the gear teeth to break. Broken gear teeth can result in frequent gear disengagement in the future.

What size tire is equivalent to 11r22.5?

11 refers to the tire section width of 11 inches, r stands for radial tire (also known as tubeless tire), and 22.5 indicates the rim diameter (wheel diameter). Below is relevant information: Tire notation: Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers. The first number denotes the tire section width, while the latter indicates the rim diameter, both measured in inches. For example, 165/70-R14 means a tire width of 165 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 70, and a rim diameter of 14 inches. Symbol meanings: The middle letter or symbol carries specific meanings: "X" represents high-pressure tires; "R" and "Z" denote radial tires; "-" indicates bias-ply tires. Due to their inferior safety, load capacity, and high-speed stability, bias-ply tires are only used in some low-end off-road vehicles and heavy-duty trucks.

What is the maximum speed in first gear when pressing the accelerator?

When the car is in first gear, pressing the accelerator to 8000 RPM results in a speed of 50 km/h, and at 12000 RPM, the speed reaches 70-80 km/h. Below is relevant information: Speed range: First gear corresponds to a speed of 0-5 km/h. Second gear corresponds to 5-20 km/h, third gear to 20-40 km/h, fourth gear to 40-60 km/h, and fifth gear to 60-100 km/h. Gear shifting timing: For most cars, the optimal shifting point is at an engine speed of 2000 RPM, not exceeding 2500 RPM. For high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting can be done around 3000 RPM.

Will a Faulty Catalytic Converter Affect Power and Fuel Consumption?

No, if the catalytic converter is damaged, the result would be excessive exhaust emissions and the illumination of the engine fault light, but it would not significantly affect fuel consumption. Below is relevant information: Appearance: The catalytic converter looks like a metal can from the outside, but it contains a 'substrate' inside for purifying exhaust gases. This honeycomb-shaped ceramic substrate is coated with a precious metal slurry, primarily composed of platinum, rhodium, and palladium. Function of purifying exhaust gases: The precious metals act as catalysts, reducing hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the exhaust into water and CO2, while breaking down nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and oxygen. This is the exhaust purification function of the catalytic converter.
